Stop in for a cup of coffee

Morning, just saw that Hank Aaron and Larry King both passed away, wow. Rip

I waited on Mr. Aaron a couple of times in Atlanta, he had charisma. I served Mrs. Aaron too, separately, I think they were separated maybe. Anyway she looked just like Jiminy Cricket.
 
Hay hay hay !! Let's start this Saturday morning our way

Finish up those cab corners? A bigger job than I thought.
 
One done, one piece left to weld on. Today m setting up the flir,to document heat travel while welding. Curious minds they say...
When the body shop did my 66 they used a wire feed that uses brazing wire. And he still got some warping. Not bad though.

Silicon bronze wire. Lower melting point,and weld wont rust. And maybe more malleable.
There will be warpage, the whole idea is to minimize it. I brazed panels on,way back when, cooling with wet rags as i went. Could feel the metal pull as it cooled. Tried heat shrinking back then too, could never get it. Now i think i could. And now its a shrinking disc, mounted on a grinder. Should look into getting one.
